Queen Bowie Jack Sparrow Lover

Thank you for your reviews!
These " dreams" just keep putting me in the oddest situations. I mean waking up on the pearl is one thing... Waking up in a bed with someone else is a whole other story. Not to mention that the other someone wasn't just any someone. No! It just had to be...
" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" I yelled. The one laying next to me jumped up so suddenly and so awkwardly, that they literally flipped themselves out of the bed. With reflexes like a cat, well a drunken cat more or less, the person grabbed their sword, which laid near by, and held it to my throat.
" I should be askin' you tha' 'ery same question," they slurred. They swaggered a bit and it appeared as if it was costing all their effort just to keep the sword at my throat, and all I could do was stare at them disbelievingly.
" What? Are you mad?" I shouted. The person then seemed to wake from a reverie and looked at me as if they were just recognizing me for the first time. Were my screams that memorable? They then removed the sword from my throat and cast it aside as they fell right back on the bed.
" Not mad luv, drunk," they replied, " and not just drunk... tired."
" You're pathetic sometimes Sparrow. You know that?" I replied shaking my head from side to side. He looked at me with one eye, the other concealed behind his messy bundle of hair.
" You know, if you 'eren't a girl, I'd slap you," he replied menacingly, but try as he might to scare me with his glare, all it proved was to show me just how HOT Sparrow is.
" Well if you weren't such a git we wouldn't be having such problems would we?" I replied hotly turning my head to conceal the blush that had crept up onto my cheeks.
" I didn't understand a word you just said, but I'm sure if I 'ad 'eard that, I'd slap you," he said putting his face flat onto the bed making it safe for me to face him again.
" You just said you wouldn't hit me cuz I'm a girl," I reminded him.
" Mfdum... udon... mffto... ah... mft," he said through the bed.
" What!" He labored himself up putting him on the same level as me. I looked nervously into his eyes. However, I didn't say anything offending so why was he looking at me like that? Man... those are some blood shot eyes. Just how much did he drink anyway?
" I said, you don't listen to e'erythin' I say right now cuz I'm drunk."
" But... you're drunk ALL the time," I stated, " How I'm I supposed to know when to listen to you or not?" It was an honest question.
" I am NOT drunk ALLLLLLL the time!" he retorted. I just gave him the ' who-the-hell-are-you-trying-fool' look which seemed to have sparked a reaction in him because he turned away from me and mumbled, " I'm just drunk MOST of the time."
" Yeah well all that is beside the point," I said, " You never answered my first question."
" And what question would that be?" he asked.
" Just what the hell are you doing in-this-bed!" I yelled pointing frantically to the so said mentioned bed.
" And like I told you, I should be asking you that very same question," he replied. Wow... I'm surprised he remembered that. I mean he's so drunk and all. Impressive.
" Me! I was sleeping here first!" Of course that wasn't really true. Technically I fell asleep on my bed and ended up on this one. However technicality does not excuse Jack's perversion for sneaking into this bed.
" What the hell are ya talking about?" he asked looking at me as if I was some lunatic who should be thrown over board. " Look lady, this is me own bed and when I want to sleep in it, I should be able to!" he stated matter-of-factly. Wait a minute! His... bed?
" Besides, I don't remember you bein' here when I did fall asleep! Making you luv oddly suspicious," he said more quietly than his first statement. He stared at me and I shifted nervously under his gaze. Great, now these 'dreams' are making ME into a pervert. Not only that, but I didn't have a single excuse to give him making me all the more suspicious. " You know, I'm not blamin' ya fer wantin' to sneak into me bed," he uttered. Just what the hell is he trying to say? " However, ya mind doin' it when I 'aven't got a 'ang-over?" he asked.
" Hold up! I'm not a pervert! And I don't want to do anything... "with" you," I cried which really was a lie. " I just happened to end up here!" Well at least that was the truth.
" Whatever," he sighed falling back into the bed, " I'm not judging ya, I'm just sayin..."
" Well stop sayin' it!" I demanded hotly.
" When does me gal get such privileges to speak to me like that?" he asked, and I know he was smiling even if I really couldn't see it behind his beard.
" Your gal?" I repeated. Oh wait... I had totally forgotten he had mentioned something like this before, and yet who the hell in their right mind would forget it? I guess last time it seemed too perfect to be true, even in dream-land!
" That's right!" he nodded. " You're me trophy gal!" he smiled. He smiled for quite sometime and it was beginning to irritate me somewhat. Then he stopped and looked at me instead with anger. " Hey! Just where the hell have you been anyway?" he scolded.
" Wh... what the hell do you care! I'm just a trophy right?" I yelled my temper sky rocketing.
" Damn right ya are! I was gonna have ya displayed before the crew last night, but ya weren't there anymore," he stated, " and who the hell can run away on ship? Ya ain't got anywhere to go! Where ya go hiding off to hmm?" he questioned me, leaning close to me enough for me to smell the liquor still upon his breath.
" Jeez, I am NOT having this conversation with you!" I hissed, crossing my arms to get the point across to drop the subject.
" Hey! I'm captain aboard this ship and no one besides ME can bark orders around here!" he said trusting a thumb towards his chest to emphasize the "me" part.
" What ever," I spat turning on my heel to walk away. I was gonna find more enjoyable company to be around. Company that appreciated me. However, as I attempted to leave, Jack grabbed my arm and pulled me back around.
" Whoa! And where d'ya think yer goin'?" he asked.
" Away from a drunk jerk like you!" Why the hell I am getting so pissy for? I yanked my arm free and once again attempted to leave, but I guess Jack had it in his mind to stop me. He leapt off the bed and walked towards me, however... CRASH! I turned to find him sprawled across the ground. I guess his legs just won't support him when he's drunk eh? Suppressing a laugh at his awkwardness and knelt down.
" Serves ya right for drinking so much," I said while helping him to his feet. With a heavy hand on my shoulder, he hoisted himself up, all his weight baring down on me. I swear I felt myself sinking into the ground, even if the ground was made of wood!
" Ugh! 's okay! Help yourself. No really, you're only squashing me under your weight!" I hissed under him.
" AH! Sorry luv," he said finally being able to stand on his own, though I don't think he dared move, lest he wanted a repeat of his prior accident. " Now that's more like how me trophy gal should act!" he laughed.
" Stop calling me that!" I demanded. He stopped laughing and looked at me.
" Why are you being so... so..." He struggled to find the perfect words.
" So what?" I asked.
" So damn bitchy!" he barked.
" Huh?"
" It was your idea in the first place, this whole "pretend" girlfriend thing and what not!" he screeched. Something about the 'pretend' thing really hit me hard, and for reason, despite if it was my idea or not, Jack going along with it made it seem as if he was just using me. Then, for what reason did I come up with the idea in the first place? However, all I really cared about at the moment was putting as much distance between me and the drunk bastard.
" Fine!" I hissed as I stormed out. I ran out on deck, receiving a couple of odd stares from the other crew members. " I don't care! Let 'em stare!" I thought reaching the railing of the ship. I stared down at the water, it's small waves thrashing up beside the boat every now and then. I watched the waves for a long time, counting them as they did so, as if they were some metronome and I was keeping beat. Man! I would try anything to blank my mind out!
' Damn boat," I mumbled bitterly at last. Sets of deep orange and yellow streaked across the rippling water. I look up and found the sun was just rising from the horizon. " And so dawns a new day upon the Pearl," I thought sarcastically. Just then a hand came to tap me lightly on the shoulder. I turn abruptly to find, much to my displeasure or pleasure, I couldn't be sure, was no other than Jack.
" I, ya know, didn't mean 'nythin' by yellin' or what not," he stammered. How thick can ya get? Why the hell would I be mad just 'cause he raised his voice.
" That's not why I'm mad!" I sighed. Just why the hell was I so mad anyway? Pride apparently stopped me from smoothing out this little understanding.
" Well then why the hell are ya so..." However, he was caught off when all of a sudden a familiar face ran past us. Jeez by the way he was running towards us, I was certain he was gonna throw himself off the ship. Apparently Jack was thinking the same thing, for he made himself stand right in the path of this man.
" What the hell are ya doin' Will?" he asked stopping him in mid run.
" I'm running!" he said like Jack's question was the most rhetorical one he'd ever heard.
" Well I can see that mate," he said with a twinge of annoyance, " what I meant was what the hell are you runnin' from?"
" I've committed a grave sin Sparrow," he replied bowing his head in shame.
" How's that?" Jack asked with mild interest.
" I...," and then he lowered his voice so that I had to really strain to hear him, " I woke up with a lady in my bed."
" Well way ta go lad!" Jack laughed slapping Will hard on the back, making him fall forward just a little.
" No! No! No! You miss understand me! I mean I woke up with another lady," Will replied.
" What do you mean" Jack asked apparently clueless as to what Will was implying.
" FER THE LOVE OF! What Will's trying to say is that he woke up in bed with another woman than with whom he's apparently supposed to be in bed with! Am I right?" I barked at Will, my temper arising with just how daft Sparrow could be sometimes.
" Yes, which is scaring me somewhat because I don't believe I know you," he said taken aback.
" Oh sorry! This is me ga..." he tried to say but I jabbed an arm in his side, " oof! I mean, this our new crew member Daniel!" he said rubbing his side.
" Hi," I said testily.
" Uh... hello," Will replied as nicely as he could seeing as how he thought I was being moody.
" Anyway," he turned to Jack, " What am I supposed to do about... you know?" Aw... he looked so helpless. Gin would have loved it! ... Wait a tick! Gin! Was she here too? I mean that would explain Will's freaking out and all. Then again, I could just be over thinking it a bit.
" 'Scuse me, but, what does this girl look like?" I asked him in spite of myself.
" I'm sorry," he mumbled, " as soon as I discovered the girl in my bed I made a bee-line for it. I didn't get a chance to look at her." Probably wasn't Gin anyway, I mean that would just be too uncanny. Then again, this is a dream and stranger things have happened so far.
" Well kind sir," I said, " direct me, if you will, to this alleged woman!"
" Uh, sure. Follow me," he said gesturing for us to follow. He lead us back to where Jack's room was contain, but instead of turning left to go to Jack's room, we turned right and walked down a very narrow hall. At the far end was a door in severely need of repair. He hung awkwardly from it's hinges and it looked as though the door knob was going to fall off. In fact, the door knob wasn't even needed to open the door. All Will had to do was merely push it in and it gave way with a horrible screech.
" Wow! This boat pulls all the stops don't it," I laughed, " Really Jack don't go overboard with the lavish-ness. Wouldn't want to think you're a high spender or anything."
" What! There's still a door here, and as far as I'm concerned, the only purpose a door serves is to keep the privacy," Jack said in defiance.
" Yeah and a mighty fine job it's doin' too," I joked.
We walked in, well, Jack and I walked in, Will stayed behind and coward behind the door. I walked to the side of the bed and peered down. The girl was sleeping so soundly. I nudged her softly so as not to offend, but she didn't stir. I tried again only a bit more forcefully and still she didn't move. Again and again I tried to nudge her awake, each more harshly than the last and still she did not wake.
" Damn!" Jack whistled, " She's a heavy sleeper ain't she?" I was starting to get peeved so this time I yanked the blankets off of her and was just about to yell for her to get her lazy ass up when I realized who I was looking at.
Her hair was the same shade of brown as Gin's and she was just as tall as her too. Plus she was wearing clothes from our era so really how could there be any doubt who she is?
" Gin?" I said doubtfully. If it was Gin, I knew just how to get her up. I rolled up my sleeves and jumped up on the bed.
" Uh luv? What might ya suppose yer doin'?" Jack asked.
" I'm gonna wake her up," I said not looking at him. I looked down at her, searched for a spot on her side and made a grab for it. There I began to tickle her with no mercy. She shot up and in the process knocked me off the bed. She clutched her sides as Jack helped me to my feet. " Nice to see you've finally decided to wake sleeping beauty," I laughed. She looked at me as one who was still half asleep would.
" Danny" she asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
" Hiya Ginny!"
" Gin?" Jack asked turning to look from me to Gin. " And I suppose you know her?"
" Why yes, yes I do," I said amazed that she was in my dream.
" And just how the hell did she get on my boat?" Jack asked.
" Swam aboard," I replied not looking at him.
" Swam aboard did she?" he mocked. " How the hell is that possible?"
" Danny? What's going on? Where am I?" Gin asked groggily.
" We're aboard the Black Pearl," I replied ignoring Jack's question.
" Really? So... are we having the same dream or are you part of my dream?" she asked.
" If anything, you're in my dream."
" No, I'm pretty sure this is my dream."
" Well then we're sharing the same dream."
" How's that possible?" she asked me bewildered. In fact, that's a good question. How in deed?
" Well I wanna know how a lot of things are possible and as of yet, no one has had the decency to explain to me," Jack barked.
" Is that Captain Jack Sparrow?" Gin asked me.
" Yup. In the flesh and drunk as usual," I said sitting down beside her.
" Yeah, glad cha've heard of me an' all, but what the hell are doing aboard me ship?" he asked irritated.
" Why's dream Jack yelling at me Danny?" Gin asked staring at Jack.
" Because he is a grumpy drunk," I said matter-of-factly.
" What the hell is it with ya'll and this dream stuff?" Jack asked throwing his arms up in the air in exasperation.
" Ya know Gin, you're taking this whole dream thing quite nicely," I said to her, once again ignoring Jack.
" I give up," I heard Jack say.
" Well yeah, I mean this is only a dream right?" Gin said.
" But still," I said, " waking up in Will Turner's bed, dream or not, is still pretty huge right?" I knew exactly what I was playing at.
" Wi... Will Turner's bed?" she repeated trying soak what I had just said in.
" Yep'ths," I laughed looking at her reaction. She leapt from the bed and look at it as if is was a holy relic.
" This bed Danny?" she asked making sure.
" The one and only," I said to her as cooly as possible.
" I'm so confused," I heard Jack sigh.
" Um excuse me," came a voice from the door way. Gin's jaw dropped when she saw who was speaking. I guess Will had finally decided to join in on our little fiasco. " But who might you be and why were you," and then he gulped, " in my bed?"
Gin then bowed so low I thought she was trying to kiss the floor.
" I'm so sorry, but...," and then she rose to look at him, blushing like mad, " I have no idea how I got here."
" Oh what a likely excuse!" Jack said exasperatingly. Gin turned to Jack.
" Honestly!" she cried.
" A Likely tale!" Jack said.
" I'm not lying here!" Gin said in defiance.
" Oh sure and I was born yesterday!"
" Jack, shush for a bit," I demanded. Honestly! Talking to my friend as if she was some, some kind of... liar!
" Oh I 'ave had it with the lot of ya!" he huffed storming out of the room. I couldn't just let him leave with out an explanation! What if he tried to throw Gin overboard for trespassing? So I followed him leaving Gin alone to defend her self to the oh so lost Will Turner.
Meanwhile, I was in hot pursuit of Jack. I found him leaning over the edge of his ship staring into the water just as I had done earlier.
" Um... Jack?" I voiced inching closer to him.
" What d'ya want?" he snapped.
" Uh... you're not planning on throwing Gin overboard are you?" I asked. He then turned to look at me as if I said the most stupidest thing in the world. " What?" I said in reaction to the look on his face. He sighed and turned his attention back to the water.
" I wasn't about to throw a lady overboard, trespasser or not," he answered.
" Oh thank goodness," I breathed in relief, relaxing somewhat.
" We'll dump her off at the next port," he said as he turned to leave.
" Wait a minute! You can't do that!" I said as I grabbed his arm.
" This is my ship and what I says goes. I'm tired of thinking that others can 'ave their way on me Pearl," he lashed out.
" I didn't mean anything by it," I replied hotly, " I just don't want to you to shun my friend is all."
" Well as of yet, I 'aven't gotten a sufficient answer as to how she got here in the first place, so she still not worthy of trusting!" he hissed.
" How come you're acting like this? You didn't react this way when I showed up? Is her appearance really all that horrible?" I asked him. I guess he didn't know what to say to this so he merely shrugged. I took this as an opportunity to keep going. " I mean I would trust her with my life! Honestly she's no horrible person. On the contrary, she's quite overly sensitive, naive, which is just a nice way of saying she's an air head sometimes, but above all that she's a really hard worker," I said at last trying to seal the unassuming deal.
" Hard worker ya say?" he repeated rubbing at his scraggily beard in a thoughtful manner.
" Sure is! A free laborer too!" A bit harsh but I wanted him to say she could stay.
" Alright," he said after awhile, " we'll see how she does on me Pearl and if I like her, meaning if she works really hard for no pay, then she can stay."
" Yes!" I cried and due to my new found surge of happiness, I latched onto the captain and hugged the breath out of him. I guess he felt extremely awkward by this, so he just stood there, his whole body tensing within my arms. I sensed this so let go. " Sorry," I said.
" Yeah okay," he shrugged trying to play it off cooly. " Just go tell the lass of my expectations alright?"
" Yes sir!" I saluted and marched off towards Gin. She'll be so happy, even under the circumstances. I guess I'll have to apologize though, I mean, she'll be working her ass off for a long time to come.
